INTRODUCTION
-----------------
No doubt about it, this game is better that Final Fantasy Tactics!
Squaresoft wins again. In this game, you control “Wanzers”, or gigantic
robot gears as in Xenogears, to fight Tactics style. It’s much different,
for one fact, you fight in the real world about 120 years from now. Another
fact is that there are two storylines based on the two of the games ladies:
Emma and Alisa. It’s pretty tricky to know how to get that one or that one,
so I’ll tell you.
--EMMA’S STORYLINE--
Emma’s Story is the longer of the two. Emma is the one who created a bomb
named MIDAS, this bomb can blow up the whole Japan! She didn’t know that it
would be this bad. The only problem is that she doesn’t have it. Someone
else is planning to use it… and destroy something. After getting caught by
JDF when trying to spy on what happened to a ruined copy of MIDAS (which can
only blow up a small portion), something gets wrong. The JDF are really mad
at you and are trying to catch and kill you. Emma is with the USN.
Difficulty-Medium
Battles-71
--ALISA’S STORYLINE--
In this storyline, there is also an explosion at Yokosuka Base, but it
happens at a different time. You get caught by JDF soldiers, but token out
just when USN spies come out of the building. Thinking that you’re up to
something, the JDF try to get you. But you’re saved by a mysterious spy
named Liu, of the DHZ(China). He tells you about the MIDAS, the bomb that
can blow up Japan whole(it doesn’t though), and that’s when the whole
storyline starts. I haven’t beat this one yet, but people say it’s sad at
the end.
Difficulty-Hard(But gets easier)
Battles-60
To access Emma’s story, go with Ryogo to the Residential Area of Okinawa at
the beginning, if you don’t, then you’ll go with Alisa’s Storyline.

Section #2-WANZERS AND BATTLES
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Wanzers are a gear used to fight battles in the game. All of the battles in
the game will have Wanzers except for one-Lake Poyang. But that’s a lame
one, since there are completely no Wanzers.
WANZER
Pilot-
Can get ejected.
Has only 20HP and
if killed, can’t
use Wanzer.
Left Hand- Right Hand-
Used to attack Used to attack
With left hand with left hand
Or left shoulder or left shoulder
Weapon. Body- weapon.
If this dies, then
Your Wanzer goes
KAPAAM! And dies.
Legs-
Used to move the
Wanzer. If they
Die, you can only
Move one space.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
All parts are useful. But some are more useful than others. The body makes
the most useful part, because if it dies, then the whole Wanzer breaks down.
This goes with pilot, too. However, you never hurt the pilot unless you have
PILOTDMGI or II Battle Skills or you eject the pilot out of the Wanzers,
making him/her vulnerable for his/her enemies to attack him/her with
weapons. The arms are the second most useful parts. If they both die, the
Wanzer is basically useless (unless it can use items). The arms provide the
Wanzer with weapons. If the arm dies, the weapon goes with it. Legs aren’t
very important unless you’re a Melee user. They will only let you move 1
square in any direction that’s available.
Below is a list for what type of attacks there are and what Wanzers are
good.
BATTLERS-
Melee - This attack can hurt a unit only one square away, fortunately, it
does A LOT of damage.
Shotgun – This is the most average attack. It attacks all parts except pilot
but not too much damage.
Machine Gun – This one is a lot like the shotgun, but does damage to random
parts. The more parts are gone, the more damage it does.
Missiles – These are real awesome. They attack in many places in the map for
about 2/3 the damage the Melee attack does. Very good and rangeable. The
problem is that you only have 6, and you need to reload after you run out,
the Missile Item will do that for you.
Grenades – These SUCK. When an enemy uses them, it does a lot of damage, but
when you use them, it doesn’t do much. They attack a whole area, but not for
much damage. They cost too much AP and Weight. Stay away from these.
Shields – Equip these on your second arm. These are very useful and do more
than just halve damage.
Rifle – Ugh. These are ranged ones that do a fair amount of damage. But
their accuracy SUCKS SO MUCH. Don’t buy these, cause you’ll be struggling
with 65% chance Miss and 35% Hit.
Flamer – Well, these are average. They fire a series of shots, but don’t do
as much as the missiles and sometimes even miss. They cost less AP than the
missiles, but stick to the missiles still.
Heavy Particle Gun – This is a gun you get off of the internet late in the
game. Everyone says it’s good, except me. I don’t think it was good, I
thought it was average. It does as much as a Melee weapon would do but about
70HP less. It misses a little less than the rifles, and the worst part is it
costs TOO MUCH AP! Another bad thing is it takes up a lot of weight. I’d go
with this one, but because what I said earlier, you should try something
else instead.
BATTLE SKILLS-
A handy list of Battle Skills is below:
Aim-Concentrates on one part
Aim Arm-Concentrates all on one arm
Aim Body-Concentrate all on the body
Aim Leg-Concentrate all on leg
AP 0-AP cost is 0. Good for use with the Heavy P. Gun and Missiles.
AP 30%-AP costs decreases 30%
AP 60%-AP cost decreases 60%
Arm Smash-Kills one enemy’s arm
Auto 1-Counters when stunned
Auto 2-Counters when stunned with anything
Auto Counter-Counters even when a part is blown up
Avoid 20-Reduces damage under 20 to 0
Avoid 40-Reduces damage under 40 to 0
Avoid 80-Reduces damage under 80 to 0
Backup Fire-Firing help from an ally
Blackout-Disables enemy’s B.Skills
Body Smash-REAL GOOD. Destroy’s enemy’s body completely
Brace 1-Enemy attacks first, but the damage done is cut by 50%
Brace 2-Same thing as Brace 1 except damage is cut by 80%
Chaff-No damage from attacking missiles
Double Assault-Right and Left hand combo with Melee Weapon and Range Weapon
Double Punch 1-Same as Double Assault except both hands need to be Melee, it
counters with 2 Melees the same type
Double Punch 2-Same as Double Punch 1 except with 2 different Melees
Double Shot 1-Same as Double Punch 1 except with ranged weapons
Double Shot 2-Same as Double Punch 2 except with ranged weapons
Def C1-Def C upgraded 1 level
Def C2-Def C upgraded 2 levels
Def C3-Def C upgraded 3 levels
----------------------------------------------------------------------
THE RIGHT EQUIPMENT-
Don’t you hate it when the enemy Wanzer’s body has 2HP left, and when you
keep attacking it you do damage to the other parts, and that Wanzer starts
kicking your ass? Well, I’ve got the solution to that. Below are the 4
Wanzers you should have and what they should be equipped with.
WANZER #1-
Body: Grapple or Hoshun
Arm: Hoshun
Arm: Vinedrai, Laiying or Hoshun
Legs: Grapple or Hoshun
Weapon: Melee
Weapon: Shield
Backpack: Power
Shoulder Weapon: None
WANZER #2-
Body: Laiying
Arm: Laiying
Arm: Zeros
Legs: Kasel M2 or Zenislev
Weapon: Heavy P. Gun
Weapon: Shotgun
Backpack: Item
-Repair Max’s or Recovers
Shoulder Weapon: None
WANZER #3-
Body: Zeros
Arm: Foura
Arm: Genie
Legs: Genie
Weapon: Machine Gun
Weapon: Melee
Backpack: Power
Shoulder Weapon: None
WANZER #4-
Body: Drake M2C
Arm: Whisk or Getty
Arm: Zeros
Legs: Zeros
Weapon: Hardblow
Weapon: Shield
Backpack: Item
-Repair Max’s and Missiles
Shoulder Weapon: Missiles
*NOTE*
MACHINE COLOR-
I recommend you change your Wanzer’s color so you can find out who’s who.
They start out different colors, but if you change them into a certain
color, you’ll find out who is that guy and who’s that. I had my main
character red so I knew it was him.
INTERMISSIONS-
After every battle (except for the split in Yancheng Inside) you’ll have an
intermission. In these, you’re able to save a file, load a file, log on to
the internet, or setup your Wanzers. Remember, Wanzers are healed fully
after each battle, even your broken parts. If you are out of items, you
should log on to the network and buy them.
ENEMY MACHINES YOU CANNOT GET-
Tanks
Trucks
Grenade Trucks
Airplanes
Choppers
Big Choppers
Ultimate Wanzers
Trains
Transports
Those Spider Wanzers
Special Wanzers
4-Block Tanks
Methane Wanzers
NOTE-Ejecting lets you board ANYTHING that no pilot is in. Even the ones
above. It’s a really awesome feature.
EJECT FEATURE-
You can eject whenever you want to, or when you’re in Force Ejection. This
feature is both good and bad. Good, because you can board other Wanzers such
as Surrendered ones or no pilot ones, or even Non availability Wanzers like
above. Bad, because if you don’t board another Wanzer when you eject, the
enemy may strike full force on you and kill your pilot. The best way to do
this is to go near a non-operative Wanzer, and if your Wanzer is low on
health, eject-board into the non-operative Wanzer.
(IMPORTANT)ENEMY SURRENDER-
Only enemies can do this. If the enemy loses it’s best arm, both arms,
forced to, or is completely surrounded by your guys, will surrender. It will
eventually go back to fighting, but can still surrender. If you attack it
one more time, and it doesn’t die, it will completely surrender, losing it’s
pilot, and free to board and eject. If this Wanzer stays alive through the
whole battle, you will earn it and keep it. If your Wanzer stock is full,
you can just sell it and the end of the battle for extra cash. So don’t
attack completely surrendered Wanzers!
ANTI PENETRATION, ANTI IMPACT, AND ANTI FLAME-
When you upgrade your DEF-C, you’re able to insert your guard in your
Wanzers. Here is the example of those “guards.”
Anti P - Protect against Shotguns, Machine Guns, Rifles, and the Heavy
Particle Gun.
Anti I – Protect against Melee: Fists, Axes, Spikes, and Batons.
Anti F – Protect against Flamers, Missiles, and Grenades.
The definite most important is Anti Penetration. More of the enemy units
have this, and it can do quite the damage. Put 2 of your units on Anti-P,
one on Anti-I, and one on Anti-F. In some battles, all units are equal, in
other words, they all have the same weapon. For example, if they all have
Machine Guns, put your guys on Anti-P.
That’s about all I can tell you in the Wanzers and Battles section. On to
the walkthrough!

KIRISHIMA INDUSTRIES
Enemies: Non Active Wanzer, Active Wanzer.
Difficulty: 1/5
This just tells you the basics of battling. Use the shotgun for more damage,
but Koike will get pissed if you don’t use your other weapon for 2 or more
turns. Both are easy.
--
After beating the test, Ryogo will come in and tell you to come with him to
the Okinawa Place.
Come with Ryogo ------>Emma’s Scenario
Don’t Come ----------->Alisa’s Scenario
Since this is Emma’s Walkthrough, I’ll go with Ryogo. After you come back,
Koike will take you to Yokosuka Base to deliver some Wanzers. Go to northern
Japan and you’ll be in Yokosuka. Upon arriving, you see an explosion in the
base! Something happened. You try to see what happened but a JDF soldier
stops you. The turret cannons shoot down a JDF helicopter and you need to
kill them.
--
YOKOSUKA BASE
Enemies: Turret x4
Difficulty-1/5
Just use your machine guns or whatever. They have only 2 parts, so it’ll be
easy. Ryogo is weaker, so don’t let him die.

After beating them, JDF soldiers will tell you to scram. Ryogo and Koike
agree as you leave back to Okinawa. Once there, Kazuki gets mail from Alisa
and that she’s been transferred to Yokosuka Base that fateful morning!
Kazuki and Ryogo go to Yokosuka, but a JDF soldier won’t let them in no
matter what. So you go back to Okinawa Ocean City and hang out, go to the
bar and talk to everyone, try to leave and Emir Klamsky will stop you. She
tells you that she is in Japan to investigate the Yokosuka incident. She
tells you to call her Emma, and has a plan to sneak in. Back in Yokosuka,
you go by and tell the guard that “you have Wanzers to deliver.” The guard
lets you in as you sneak inside.
Inside, you head down and see a big hole. Doesn’t look like there’s a
bottom. It’s that bomb that exploded… as you’re trying to leave, special
force JDF soldiers catch you a fight.
--
YOKOSUKA BASE
Enemies: Wanzer x4
Difficulty: 3/5
I hate this! The melee Wanzers are so damn good. Kill them quickly and then
go after the ones in the back. Emma’s missiles work great. Overall, it’s
hard.
--
After this, Emma will tell you that there is an escape route through and
underground passage. You’ll re-supply automatically and head through. As
you’re going, 3 JDF soldiers get to you.
--
YOKOSUKA BASE
Enemies: Wanzer x3 Reinforcement Wanzers x2
Difficulty: 3/5
A toughie, because I thought you have to do both objectives! I got a
platinum though ;). Quickly move Kazuki to the left door and open it, then
move Emma and Ryogo there and pass through up to the elevator. Emma’s
movement isn’t good, and the enemy in the back can kill your legs, so be
careful. Keep moving and try to get enemies out of the way if possible. At
turn 6, 2 more Wanzers will come from the left side, be careful!
--
Now, that you’re outside, there’s a blockade! They won’t let you outside
now!
--
YOKOSUKA BASE
Enemies: Wanzer x1, Tank x2 Reinforcements: Wanzer x2
Difficulty: 1/5
Simple. Kill the Wanzer near you easily, then go for the wimp tanks in front
of the gate. I heard there are reinforcements here, but I beat the battle so
fast that I didn’t see them. You also got support fire here.
--
You head back to a hangar in Okinawa. Emma teaches you how to setup Wanzers
and gives you the Setup Option. You should have mail from Kinkakuji about
the ARMOREDKIN website. Emma tells you that you should head to Homonokufuto
where Emma’s force, the USN, is hiding a getaway plane. Ryogo knows someone
who can help in Yokohama City, north of the highway knows as Kamariya JC. As
you head there, you’ll come by a police checkpoint in your truck. The JDF
spots you and attacks you.
--
KAMARIYA JC
Enemies: Wanzer x2, Chopper x3
Difficulty: 2/5
Pretty tough because of the choppers firing missiles. Kazuki and Ryogo
should take care of the Wanzers, while Emma should fire missiles at the
annoying helicopters. It’s really hard to kill the choppers without
missiles, and don’t try to use rifles on them. It’s not too hard, but can be
a little challenge if you don’t have the right equipment.
--
The JDF blew up your truck! Looks like you’ll need to walk alone in your
Wanzers. Why can’t they just get out of them and take a different route for
enemy Wanzers hard to see? Anyway, you’ll keep going and you’ll be ambushed
by the Japanese Defense Force’s super special forces, and their commander,
Kuroi.
--
KAMARIYA JC
Enemies: Wanzer x3, Truck x1
Boss: Kuroi
Difficulty: 2/5
You should have your FM3 Battle Knowledge good by now. This battle is much
like the other battles. The boss, Kuroi, is one of the 3 Wanzers but acts
the same as them. Kill off the nearest Wanzers or hope for surrenders.
--
After beating Kuroi, he retreats. You’ll resume walking towards Yokohama and
get ambushed by more JDF Wanzers blocking your way in the Kamariya Tollbooth
Checkpoint. You plan to steal an abandoned truck.
--
KAMARIYA JC
Enemies: Wanzer x4
Difficulty: 3/5
The enemies have a high Force Ejection ON YOU rate, so be careful not to get
sniped. To get rid of the guy behind the tollbooths you’ll need to shoot the
tollbooths down, or use missiles on that guy. The Melee man will hurt you
here, kill him quickly!
--
You take the abandoned truck and go to Yokohama Shop, where the shopkeeper
is Ryogo’s friend. He tells Kazuki and Ryogo that they are wanted and on the
T.V and all, but why was that explosion so important? Or is it that the JDF
had too much coffee? JK. The shopkeeper tells you about shops and upgrades.
Upgrade now for best results(You can only upgrade HP). After doing this,
leave and Emma will tell you to go to Homonokufuto. You start going there.
While on the streets in your truck, a bunch of trucks with cat designs stop
in your way and… what’s this? The JDF or what? These guys look a lot like a
bunch of gangsters.
--
YOKOHAMA
Enemies: Wanzer x4, Truck x2
Difficulty: 2/5
You do not need to kill the trucks, they’ll try to escape and can’t attack.
If you’re lucky enough, you might be able to kill a Wanzer’s part on your
first try. Happened to me ;). Same strategy as before: Kill the 4 Wanzers!
--
After defeating the enemies, Emma says that they aren’t JDF nor JDF Wanzers.
You’ll continue to Homonokufuto. When arriving, the same guys come to attack
you, but your secret transport comes out and shoots one guy down. It’s
Dennis Vicarth, USN General.
--
HONMOKUFUTO
Enemies: Wanzer x4
Difficulty: 2/5
ARGH! Not again! Four Wanzers again? Same strategy applies here, except some
buildings may block your way. The best way is to trap a Wanzer in one of the
alleys with your Wanzer and he won’t be able to escape. The airplane doesn’t
do anything, it’s just there.
--
After beating them, Dennis tells you that you need to find a runway to get
off Japan. He tells you where, and also tells you who these mysterious shade
guys are, they’re part of the DHZ, and are Liu’s force. Now you move to the
Homonokufuto Runway!
--
HONMOKUFUTO
Enemies: Wanzer x4(Last time, really)
Boss: Liu
Difficulty: 3/5
Liu will be here to fight. Try attacking him with missiles, since he’s at
the very top, and another Wanzer is. That’s why I gave this battle a 3/5
instead of a 2/5. Liu will retreat once you killed his Wanzer.
Congratulations! You’ve made it out of Japan!
--
The airplane will go and fly to a USN Carrier in the middle of the Pacific
Ocean. You’ll talk to the USN captain, and go into the hallway to meet with
the Purple Haze team: Lukav, Joe, Cindy, and Gastor. You will go to your
room, and Emma will explain what happened, she says that she was the one who
created that bomb long ago, and that it’s not used right. The Yokosuka Base
explosion was a poor copy of this bomb, called MIDAS. The real MIDAS is
still somewhere. And that Emma didn’t know this was going to happen. Now you
head to Australia to a Weapon Factory to get more clues to where the MIDAS
bomb is right now. Upon arriving in the Stanley Mountains, they’ll tell you
your mission, and you’ll go south through Wilson Cliffs. However, while
going through them, you spot a transport “CADENZA” moving. Emma says there
might be MIDAS inside, so you’re going to have to see for yourself.
--
WILSON CLIFFS
Enemies: Wanzer x4, Transport x1
Boss: CADENZA(Transport)
Difficulty: 4/5
There is a turning point here. Whether or not you kill CADENZA is up to you.
If you destroy it, you’ll go to Sumatra and Singapore, if you don’t, you’ll
go to Barilar Farm and the Weapon Factory. I’ll go through the part when
it’s destroyed. Have all your people take out the Wanzers while one should
fire missiles at CADENZA. If CADENZA escapes, you’re gonna go through the
second turning point, which I won’t feature in this walkthrough.
--
After destroying the enemies, you’ll look inside the transport. No MIDAS,
just people! You ask the people some questions. One man, named Serov, seems
to know something. He tells you about Sumatra, and you’ll give him a walkie
talkie so you can talk through him and you. He tells you about a plane crash
location in Sumatra, and you think MIDAS is in there. Time to find out.
--
SUMATRA
Enemies: Wanzer x6
Difficulty: 4/5
The battle is tough. Even though you have Good NPCs to help you here, only
one will be really good. The others will probably die. The 3 Wanzers near
you should be kicked before they even get a chance to hurt you. That’s
right-Missiles. It’s pretty easy to kill them, once you do, go to the NPC
area and help them out by destroying the remaining three Wanzers (Unless the
NPCs already killed some).
--
You’ll meet Hatta, one of the three NPCs. He tells you that he knows someone
who can hack and get info on where the MIDAS is. He’ll take you to
Singapore. Here, talk to the Spender, “Moneymaker”, and she’ll tell you that
she’ll hack only if you pay her. Ryogo will tell Dennis to pay. Go outside
and shop for new upgrades and weapons. After that, Kazuki and Emma will go
out. Go to ‘Sentosa’ and she’ll tell you how her parents died(She’s
Russian). They were killed by a man who hated them, but Emma escaped and was
saved by a USN Wanzer, who shot down that chopper. The screen switches to
Moneymaker hacking, she hacks in and gets the info, but after she gets off
the internet, a single phone call gets her caught. When you gather up, Hatta
will come and tell you that Moneymaker was caught. You’ll need to sneak in
the prison, Choa Chun Khang, at night, to get her back… but it won’t be so
easy. Get ready and go to the prison. Time to fight!
--
CHOA CHUN KHANG
Enemies: Tank x3, Wanzer x3, Pilot x2
Difficulty: 3/5
The first battle with enemy pilots alone. The only way to kill them easily
is to use machine guns or shotguns. Don’t use rifles, missiles, or Melee,
because it will most likely miss. Split up your groups: 2 for the left side
and 2 for the right. Take care of the pilots last, they won’t hurt you a lot
(up to 80HP). Also, avoid the searchlights, if you’re in them, the enemy’s
accuracy increases.
--
After the battle, you save Moneymaker, but more guards come. Luckily, Lukav
and the Purple Haze team come and take care of the rest. Back in Sentosa,
Moneymaker tells you her real name, Yun Lai Fa, and that she wants to go
with you. You tell her that you’ll let her go with you only if you don’t
need to pay. There will be some more dialogue and Yun will join your party.
You head to the USN Fleet, since you know where MIDAS is: Taal Naval Base of
the Philippines. Lukav will now tell you what to do. He’ll tell you all the
basic obstacles of Taal Base and how to get through them. If you’re ready,
get set for Taal Base. There will be two places to go through. I chose the
Front Gate, and I’ll guide you only through that.
--
TAAL BASE FRONT GATE
Enemies: Wanzer x3, Tank x2, Pilot x3, Big Tank x1
Difficulty: 3/5
Another battle with enemy pilots. Take care of the Wanzers and the Big Tank
quickly, then go for the regular tanks. Since the Big Tank is far away, it
won’t be easy. Plus, it won’t move too much at the beginning, but can cause
quite some damage. The tanks will fire at you like the machine guns, so it
wouldn’t do much. Get some Restores for this battle if you can.
--
Once arriving in the Taal Base interior, you’ll find more enemies.
--
TAAL BASE FRONT GATE #2
Enemies: Wanzer x4, Tank x2, Big Tank x1
Difficulty: 2/5
Easier than before since the enemy units are lacking. Same strategy applies
here.
--
Further in Taal Base, you get ambushed once again.
--
TAAL BASE FRONT GATE #3
Enemies: Wanzer x4, Grenade Launcher x2, Tank x1, Shooter x2
Difficulty: 2/5
Easier than it looks. The Grenade Launcher won’t play a big part in this
battle, since they’re in the back. Use Penetration and Missiles to kill the
Shooters above.
--
Eventually you’ll find the JDF Scientists and Alisa. You’ll tell Alisa and
Lukav to come with you. You’ll exit in Taal Lake waiting for the submarine.
Unfortunately, Philippines Wanzers arrive.
--
TAAL LAKE
Enemies: Wanzer x4, Tank x3, Outpost x3
Difficulty: 3/5
You don’t need to kill the outposts, but kill the one right near you because
it’ll shoot the JDF pilots. If Lukav or Alisa die, it’s game over. The rest
is basic, so there’s no need to worry.
--
MIDAS has been taken away by an aircraft, Jose and Semaun will be waiting
for you in the Taal Base Main Gate.
--
TAAL BASE
Enemies: Wanzer x3, Big Wanzer x2, Tank x2
Difficulty: 4/5
Boss: Semaun, Jose
A little harder. The tanks will shoot you, but if you’re careful enough,
you’ll be able to take them out in no time. Anyways, try to beat this battle
and get a Platinum Medal. Remember, the Big Wanzer can hurt you a lot, so
it’s best to take them out. Accuracy on them is very high.
--
Something’s wrong… you escape Taal Base, but… Alisa and Lukav are gone. The
DHZ Rebels are moving in to Taal Base, but the aircraft drops MIDAS down,
and it explodes through Taal Base and Batangas…
Back in the USN Carrier, the operator tells you that Lukav was a spy for the
DHZ. He has Alisa with him and is somewhere in Taiwan. Time to go to there!
Stock up and go to the dormitory. Emma will tell you the truth: Alisa is her
real sister, named Aliciana Klamsky, but was adopted by Isao
Takemura(Kazuki’s Dad). She apologizes for using Kazuki but Kazuki doesn’t
care because Emma has been with him for a long time. Now, Kazuki departs for
Taipei, where Dennis knows an Ambassador who can help them. When the party
arrives to Taiwan, the OCU Squad is tight on the dam Kazuki needs to pass.
--
BAI KUI DAM
Enemies: Wanzer x6, Pilot x1, Tank x1
Difficulty: 5/5
This battle is very hard. There is a turning point here: Open the dam or
defeat everyone. I chose to defeat everyone and that was hard. So I’m going
to lead you through that point. The three Wanzers on the bottom should be
your primary target. After that, go to the northwestern corner right away
and break the gates before any other missiles break through you. Once on the
top, stay calm and take out the enemies one by one. Don’t worry, there are
no reinforcements here, even though one of the enemies call someone to come.
--
After beating this battle (Killing all enemies is my point, so I’ll lead you
only through that), Kazuki will have two choices to go to: Yingko or Xinzhu.
Xinzhu is way easier so go there. That is what I’ll lead you through.
--
XINZHU
Enemies: Wanzer x2, Helicopter x2 Reinforcement Wanzers x2
Boss: Han(Reinforcement)
Difficulty: 1/5
This is friggin’ easy. Your Missile Launcher should take out the helicopters
in one or two hits, and leave the 2 Wanzers for your other units. It IS
possible to beat this battle before reinforcements come, but ya gotta be
fast. They come on Turn 3. Both Han and the OCU Soldier are easy, so go
slash ‘em!
--
Now you’re gonna have to go through Taipei Suburb!
--
TAIPEI SUBURB
Enemies: Wanzer x5, Tank x2, Helicopter x2
Boss: Han
Difficulty: 2/5
This is pretty easy. It’s the same basic strategy as the other battles, so
beat it.
--
After beating that one easy battle, Kazuki arrives in Taipei. Dennis tells
Kazuki to go to the bar, go there and meet up with Ambassador Clay. He tells
you that Lukav is in the DHZ Weapon Factory. Sneak in there at night and
find yourself being ambushed by units.
--
DHZ WEAPON FACTORY
Enemies: Wanzer x3, Tank x4, Pilot x2
Difficulty: 5/5
I HATE THIS! It’s hard because the Wanzers are in the very back, and they
will fire missiles one by one at you. And the !@#$^%& pilots are that damn
annoying. The fence in the middle is also a pain, since it’s tempting not to
waste a turn on destroying it. I forgot about this one but I remember it was
tough. Sorry I can’t help you out, but you can figure it out on your own.
--
Going underground, you see Han ready to kill you…
--
DHZ WEAPON FACTORY UNDERGROUND
Enemies: Wanzer x7, Grenade Tank x1
Boss: Han
Difficulty: 6/5--Yep..
This battle is like Velius from FFT, but in this one, everyone poses a
threat. The Napalm Tanks will explode after each turn, causing damage to the
units near it. No big deal. Immediately destroy the 3 Wanzers near you, and
make sure not to go to the back Wanzers’ missile range. DO NOT GO NORTH IN
HAN’S AREA. LET THE WANZERS THERE COME TO YOU. Han won’t move for a while,
but once you kill 4 Wanzers, he’ll get ready. After Han starts making your
way to you, he’ll hit hard with his grenades, which do more than 190 damage
to all parts if you’re not on Anti-Flame. Set your units 3 to Anti-Flame and
one to any. Be patient on this one, and don’t reset.
--
After killing Han completely, you find that Lukav isn’t in the factory and
you’ve been tricked by Ambassador Clay. Looks like he is on the side of the
OCU. Kazuki heads to Taipei, and there the USN Commander tells them that
Ambassador Clay is in the USN Embassy. Get ready and go there. Outside,
enemy Wanzers trap you, but the USN Commander wasn’t lying. He picks up a
OCU tank to help you out.
--
USN EMBASSY
Enemies: Wanzer x4, Helicopter x2, Tank x3, Pilot x2
Difficulty: 2/5
Don’t care about the Tank NPC on your side, as he’ll get himself into
trouble easily by attacking the helicopter, but being countered by heavy
Machine Gun shots. Move your Melee character to the Wanzer nearest and kill
him. Once that’s done, use your Missile Shooter to kill the helicopters, and
use your shotguns to kill the pilots. Then take care of the rest, if the USN
Commander survived, you’re in luck to get 2% extra points. Fat chance
though.
--
The USN Embassy will blow up with Ambassador Clay. The USN Commander tells
Kazuki’s Party that he got information where Lukav is headed: The People’s
Republic of DHZ, A.K.A China. The USN Commander, Marcus, decides to join to
your party. It won’t be easy to go to the DHZ, you will need to go through
Futai Tunnel to get to the DHZ, but looks like something is going in Taipei.
--
TAIPEI
Enemies: Spider Wanzer x3, Wanzer x2, Tank x2
Difficulty: 3/5
Annoying battle. The Spider Wanzers can pose a threat, but are so easy to
target. Just kill them with your best attacks. Melee weapons work fine and
all they have is legs and Body. Tanks and Wanzers should be dealt with last.
--
In Futai Tunnel, the security is tight, and they won’t let you enter.
--
FUTAI TUNNEL
Enemies: Wanzer x7
Difficulty: 3/5
It’s best to take out the two Wanzers on the sides, since they’ll be firing
missiles. Then the Wanzers in the back should be taken care of. If you have
the best Booster upgrade, you’ll be able to boost all the way to the back
and defeat the Wanzers with your Melee character. Don’t die!
--
Further in Futai Tunnel, more Changli Wanzers approach you.
--
FUTAI TUNNEL
Enemies: Wanzer x4, Tank x3, Train x1
Difficulty: 3/5
Same strategy as the battle before, except defeat the train last.
--
At the exit of Futai Tunnel, Yun sees observation windows and looks at them.
However, out of nowhere, fired torpedo Wanzers bust in. But these guys are
not any you’ve fought! They’re Imaginary Numbers!
--
FUTAI TUNNEL
Enemies: Wanzer x4
Boss: Griffith
Difficulty: 5/5
The battle may seem easy because there’s only 4 enemy Wanzers, but they are
tough! All have Shotguns, which do up to 160 Damage to ALL PARTS on one
person! At first, two of them will destroy the obstacles, then comes the
tough parts. Make sure to have all the best current weapons!
--
Finally! Out of Futai Tunnel! You come across Fuzhou, a small Hua Lian Rebel
Base. Chang, one of the Hua Lian Rebs, offers to take you to the HQ,
Guangzhou.
In Guangzhou, you meet the commander, Huang, and your briefer for a long
time. You will get to explore Guangzhou a little. Then, Huang will tell you
that there are problems in Sanya Base. Chang will take you there.
In Sanya Base, the colonel will tell you that they are hiding a secret in
the Southern Oil Field. However, the Military is about to inspect it, and if
they find out, the Sanya Base soldiers will die!
You arrive at the Oil Field a little too late. The inspectors have made it
there already. You know what to do – Kill ‘em!
--
OIL FIELD
Enemies: Wanzer x4, Tank x2
Difficulty: 2/5
The two good NPCs won’t attack a lot, but they can provide a good shield.
Firstly kill the bottom soldiers, then activate the elevator to go up. The
tanks can kill the NPCs, so be sure to destroy them.
--
Back in Sanya Base, the colonel thanks you and Chang takes you back to
Guangzhou. Huang will tell you about the military, and it’s time for a break
at the restaurant in this city.
At the restaurant, you’ll meet a girl bugged by thugs. Your party drives
them away, and the girl tells you that she is a Hua Lian Rebel named Ling.
After eating (Well, after Yun eats) your party goes back to the Hua Lian
Rebels HQ. You meet Ling, and she tells you that there is a battle in
Sinchuan, a nearby railroad field, and that her brother, Wuo Ben, is
participating in that battle. She’ll take you to Sinchuan.
In Sinchuan, Ling finds her brother’s Wanzer destroyed. And even worse, the
Changli army has been hiding around. Ling will go hide, while you fight.
--
SINCHUAN
Enemies: Tank x3, Grenade Tank x2, Pilot x4. Reinforcement Wanzers x2
Boss: Lan(Reinforcement)
Difficulty: 3/5
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
IV. ENEMIES, TACTICS, AND TIPS FOR FIGHTING
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The enemies in FM3 don’t have very good AI. I mean, let’s say you’re playing
Emma’s Scenario, and you’re in the MIDAS explosion battle, and here is
Ryogo’s Wanzer:
Pilot: 20HP
Body: 100HP
Arm: 100HP Arm: 100HP
Legs: 70HP
That’s just and example. And let’s say there is Melee Enemy that can hit
Ryogo easily. The AI probably won’t do that. They probably will attack
someone else or just end their turn.
One thing I hate about AI is that they’re greatly equipped with shields
sometimes. Take the Riot Cops in the Kamiyara JC battle. They have Riot
Shields, and most blows will do all damage to the arm the shield is
equipped, worst of all it’ll do half the damage or even less.
The worst AI I’ve seen is Wanzers that stay in one place all the time and
don’t move. This one Wanzer in the Dagat Ahas Pathway was a Melee user but
stayed in one place, easily vulnerable to shotgun. He didn’t move at all, he
had Legs better than the 1-2 Movement Range. Mostly bosses have this type of
AI.
In most battles, you will have to usually stay in your starting place and
killing enemies coming to you. Cause they come to you! Make a defense group
and wait for the enemies to come to you so you can take them out with your
four Wanzers. Don’t come to the enemy, as they will usually take you out
unless you’re greatly equipped and you have a good shield.
PLACEMENT OF ENEMIES-
This is how Square placed the enemies:
Long Range Wanzer Long Range Wanzer
Tank Tank
Melee Wanzer
Shotgun Wanzer Shotgun Wanzer
Your Party
That’s one of the maps in the game. They usually place the Long Range
Wanzers in the back so they get a good strike with their missiles and are
hard to get to, the tanks have Machine Guns that can go 4 squares from them,
and shotgun Wanzers can pose a threat too. The Melee Wanzer will probably
take 2 turn to get to you, but it’s worth the wait since he can be equipped
with heavy hits.
KILL CHART-
Which type of machines you should kill first.
Grenade Shooters: Pose a big threat by firing grenades at a lot of your
people.
Great Battle Skill Wanzers: Especially ones that have Smashes.
Long Range Shooters: Missiles DO hurt.
Assault/Melee: Only if they are near you and are posing threats to your
guys.
Shotgunners: Total Bad Asses.
Machine Gunners: Do a little less damage to you than the shotgunners but
still are annoying.
Rifle/Flamer holders: They won’t do much, so they take them out last unless
you get tired of one.
Pilots: Annoying and hard to target, so save them for last.
TIPS-
-Missiles should come in handy for taking out the Long Range Wanzers.
-It’s best to take out the Long Range Wanzers first, since they can do more
damage than you thought they’d do.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
NETWORK GUIDE
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The network is the other half of the fun in the game. It IS the internet.
Talk to people on your journey for web sites, access them, get secret info,
hack into files, and more! There’s also a mailing system, which you can send
and receive mail. You can also download text files, pictures, and even fight
for experience! The Shop will let you buy any item or weapon that you have
seen in different shops. Good for resupplying.
